Kingston (Jamaica), May 20: For Indian skipper Rahul Dravid, the first ODI against West Indies provided more than one reason to be delighted.

Dravid, in making 105, became the first Indian to post three centuries against the West Indies in one-dayers.

Sachin Tendulkar and K Srikkanth have scored two centuries each against the Caribbeans.

The icing on the cake for the Indian captain was that he also completed 1,000 runs against the West Indies.

Dravid, who now has 1,014 runs from 28 matches at an average of 48.28, became the second Indian to do so after Tendulkar (1145 runs at an average of 47.71 in 31 matches).

The Bangalorean added another record to his name -- becoming the first Indian batsman to register a hundred against West Indies in West Indies.

Sunil Gavaskar's 90 off 117 balls at Berbice, Guyana, way back in 1983 was the previous highest individual innings by an Indian in West Indies.

Dravid's 105 was his first away ton as captain and also the highest individual innings by an overseas player at Kingston.

Graeme Smith's 103 for South Africa versus West Indies last year was the only overseas centurion at this venue before Dravid.
